Pension Papers of Frank Under act of Congress 7th June 1832.
Admitted Private 17 mo 15 days
Hon. M. J. Bovee United States New York

The declaration of Philip Braker in order to obtain the benefit of the act of Congress passed June 7th 1832.
State of New York,
County of Saratoga ss: On this fourth day of September in the Year one thousand eight hundred and thirty two personally appeared in open Court, before the Judges of the Court of Common Pleas of the County of Saratoga now sitting Philip Braker — a resident of the Town of Edinburgh in the County of Saratoga aforesaid, aged eighty one year — who being first duly sworn according to law, doth on his oath make the following declaration in order to obtain the benefit of the act of Congress passed June 7th 1832.
The said applicant saith that he was born in the City of Boston in the State of Massachusetts on the nineteenth day of August in the Year of our Lord one thousand seven hundred and fifty one. I continued to reside in the city of Boston with my father until I was nine years of age, — then I went to live with my uncle, and worked at husbandry until I was fifteen years of age, in the town of Wiltshire in the County of Northampton in the State of Massachusetts — I then went to live with Daniel Warner in the Town of Hardwick, County of Worcester in the State of Massachusetts, and worked with him at husbandry until I was twenty four years of age. About the seventeenth of April, or between that and the twentieth of April, in the Year one thousand eight hundred and Hardwick, I joined as a volunteer company of minutemen, under the command of Captain Haskelton, and the names of the other officers of the company were Lieutenant Brown — Ensign Black — their christian names I do not recollect — John Harnord was my orderly sergeant, and David Weeks and Francis Nash

my messmates. I do not recollect the names of any other of my fellow soldiers. - After I joined the Company of Captain Hadleton, I marched with the Company for the purpose of going to Lexington, but before we arrived there, we received order to march to Roxbury, and we then marched to Roxbury. After we arrived at Roxbury, myself and most of the other privates of the company, enlisted for eight months in a new com- pany formed under Captain Vane for William- the said Ensign - Black, was lieutenant in this company of Captain Williams. I do not recollect the name of our Ensign. - John Hannore was orderly sergeant, and Samuel Read & David Webb were my messmates, besides many others. - I continued stationed at Roxbury, and did service in this company at erecting breastworks & forts, &c. at Roxbury during the eight months for which I enlisted. - During the whole of this term of service the British army under the command of general Gage, kept posses- sion of Boston. - During this term of service, while we were erecting a fort and breastworks at Roxbury the British artillery would frequently march out of Boston, and discharge cannon balls and grape- shot during the night, by which many were injured, wounded and killed. - The spot where my company was stationed was about three miles from the British fort at Boston. - The company in which I enlisted was infantry, and was attached to a Regiment of Infantry, under the command of Colonel Gannard - I cannot tell whether the company to which I was attached belonged to the regular - the state line, or militia, - but we were called Massachusetts state troops. - At this

time, the army, troops and militia were in a disorganized state, — When I joined the company of Captain Hardwick, we first marched to old Rutland, from thence to Worcester, from thence to Malmsbury, from thence to Bockbury. On the expiration of this term of eight months service, I was dismissed by Captain Billings and returned to Hardwick. — I was dismissed in the month of December in 1775. — After my return to Hardwick I remained there about a fortnight, when general order came from Bockbury for the Militia to turn out. When I again volunteered and joined a company under Captain Allen. I do not recollect his Christian name or the name of my lieutenant and ensign. The officers of this company were chiefly composed of the same men who belonged to Captain Billings company. Colonel Sproul had the command of the company of Infantry to which Captain Allen's company was attached. — After I joined Capt. Allen's company we marched to Worcester and there we remained from about the first of January in the year 1776 — till about the last of May or the first of June ensuing. When I served about five months — About the first of March in the year 1776 there was a draft of men made from the companies and Regiments at Dorchester, for the purpose of taking possession of a New Hill, or Dorchester Heights, or Dorchester Point for the purpose of driving the British out of Boston, which hill was about two or three miles distant from where we were stationed. — It was in the night time, and I was one of the party. We were discovered by the British before we arrived at the Hill or Heights, from some one of the soldiers having carelessly struck a fire, when the British commenced a heavy cannonade from Boston, which was about a mile distant from the Hill or Heights, and kept it up during the night. There was a drum beat

of our soldiers killed & wounded. I should think about one hundred. — I recollect that a Doctor Croych, a resident of the town of Dorchester and belonging to another regiment was killed. — We were obliged to retreat to Dorchester. — A fortnight afterwards, another party was drafted from the Companies and Regiments at Dorchester and were ordered to take possession of Newke-Hill on the Heights of Dorchester. — We took possession of Newke-Hill on the Heights of Dorchester in the night time. — We took possession of Newke-Hill on the Heights of Dorchester and raised the American Flag in the Morning. — It was said that the American Carrier with them gave hundred bags of sand for the purpose of rolling them down on the Enemy from the Hills if the British should attack us. — The British fleet which was in sight sailed by us but did not fire on us nor we upon the fleet towards the Castle, out at sea, & anchored there. — The British did not open a cannonade upon us from Boston but thereupon evacuated Boston. — I do not now recollect who had the immediate command of either of these parties in which I was drafted. — I think that General Washington was then and commanded the chief of our land and naval forces. — About the last of May or the first of June in 1776. I was discharged by Captain Allen, and returned home to Hardwick. — I lived in Hardwick, thereafter until about the first of January  July in the year 1776, when I joined as a volunteer Captain Hyde's company. — I do not recollect his christian name, I think his surname was Huntington. — I do not recollect the Colonel. — Moses Hazard, Jonas Conkey were my sergeants, besides many others. — I was appointed corporal, and acted as sergeant in the place of sergeant Banks who was absent on account of sickness. — I joined Captain Hyde's company in the town of Pelham before mentioned to which place I went on private business. — We marched from Pelham first to Churchville from there to Hadley, from there to Hatfield, from there to

North Hampton, in Massachusetts, and then went down the North River to P'keepsie in the State of New York. There I remained in the service from about the first of November until the sometime in March the year one thousand seven hundred & seventy seven. Our duty at P'keepsie was chiefly garrison duty, and keeping the parties of British from molesting the inhabitants. During This term of service amounted to about four or five months. I returned to Pelham in Massachusetts with Capt. Hyde's company and was there until a short time after we left P'keepsie the British burnt it, as I understood. I remained some time at Pelham when I moved to Ashfield in the county of Northampton, and lived there about three years, till I engaged as a teamster in the Revolutionary service, under Captain John Denson, and acted as a teamster for six months, in which term of service commenced about the 1st of May or first of June, and ended some time in November in the year 1780, as I think. - I was sick one month & a half during this term of service as teamster, and hired one John Gilmore as a substitute who drove my team & acted in my place. At the time I was acting as teamster I think a part of the American Army the General Troops were stationed at Tarry Town. I think the officer who had the Chief Command of the team was called General or Colonel Gagewell. Our station was about twelve miles from New York which was then in the possession of the British. After my term of service as a teamster had expired I returned to Ashfield. In the year 1790 (as I think) I removed to Newport in the County of Bennington State of Vermont and remained there about twenty three years. In January in the year 1808, I removed from Newport to the town of Edinburgh in the County of Saratoga State of New York, where I have since continued to reside.
